“Our homes were in the proposed area of submergence. We’d have⟳ to move⟳ with our friends and families, our dogs and cows, and forsake⟳ our homegardens and fields, the plants we had planted, the birds, butterflies, frogs, snakes, and other beings of this valley, and this tiny headwater of a stream we’d nurtured.”
